xclusiv8 10 Posted June 30, 2009 So ive been reading on the forum that some people get better performance in ArmA2 with WinXp. Is this true? Has it been tested and confirmed? I have pretty good performance with Vista x64 but if i can squeeze out some more fps its worth changing back to WinXp. Q6600 @ 3.2Ghz 4Gb Ram 8800GTS 512mb OCed FPS in ArmA2: 35 Thanx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Q6600 @ 3.2Ghz 4Gb Ram 8800GTS 512mb OCed FPS in ArmA2: 35 Thanx I can confirm that XP is way better in my experience. I have XP64 SP2, Win 64 SP2 and Win 7 64 2232 and XP64 is by far the best performer. I've heard similar things from XP32 users although I can't confirm that as I don't use any 32 bit OS any more. You can always duel boot as switching back to XP just for A2 probably isn't the best idea. I have to confess that as far as Win7 goes, it is much better for the other 30 games I have installed than XP is. A2 is the noteable exception for the moment.

Eth Well i dont really play any other games besides ArmA and Flight Simulator X :P So it doesnt really matter for me if i keep Vista or not. The bad thing i guess is that i only have Win32 so i wont be able to use my 4Gb of ram. I find dualbooting to be to much of a hassle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In which case reverting to XP will negate that feature :( Eth Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think ill wait untill the next patch, maybe the'll fix some of the performance issues. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
